Divine War Pill Emperor

Seeing Ximen Gong and Master Chen leave, Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, he hurried down the mountain.

He returned to the Jiang Family.

Meanwhile, Ximen Gong and Master Chen returned to the Ximen Family with the Golden Healing Pill.

Carefully holding the bottle containing the Golden Healing Pill, Ximen Gong looked at his son, who was lying in bed with all four limbs crippled.

His heart began to pound with excitement.

’My son will be back on his feet soon. Jiang Family, I’ll make you pay for this sooner or later.’

After all, the Jiang Family was responsible for all of this, and Ximen Gong harbored a deep hatred for them.

The Ximen Family had also lost so many of their experts at the Jiang Family’s hands.

"Father, can I still be saved?"

Ximen Jianren’s eyes were open as he looked at his father.

He didn’t want to lie in bed like a cripple forever.

"Of course you can be saved. I’ve already found the Golden Healing Pill that will cure you."

"You’ll be back on your feet in no time."

Ximen Gong said with an ecstatic smile.

Ximen Jianren was thrilled as well.

"Father, that’s wonderful! I can stand up again!"

"Thank heavens! As long as I can stand again, I swear that one day, I will make the Jiang Family’s blood flow like a river."

"I’ll make sure Jiang Chen dies without a proper burial!"

But Ximen Gong just laughed and said, "Son, I’ve already gotten revenge for you. I crippled that piece of trash from the Jiang Family. I doubt he’ll live much longer."

He had gravely wounded Jiang Chen with a single sword strike at the Jiang Family residence. He estimated that one strike was enough to take Jiang Chen’s life.

He just hadn’t heard any news from the Jiang Family yet.

But he was certain that Jiang Chen wouldn’t last much longer.

"What?"

"Father, are you serious? You’ve already gotten revenge for me?"

After his initial stupor, Ximen Jianren was overcome with a wave of wild joy.

Jiang Chen had broken all four of his limbs, and he had sworn revenge.

Now his father had already avenged him. It was immensely satisfying.

"Of course it’s true."

"Don’t overthink it. Just focus on your recovery."

Ximen Gong took out the Golden Healing Pill.

He prepared to give it to his son.

But Master Chen suddenly spoke up and stopped him.

"Clan Leader, wait."

Ximen Gong looked at Master Chen in confusion. This Master Chen was a key figure in the rise of their Ximen Family.

As a First-Grade Alchemist, he had helped the Ximen Family a great deal.

He was a meritorious veteran.

Therefore, Ximen Gong was willing to listen to what Master Chen had to say.

Master Chen looked at the Golden Healing Pill in Ximen Gong’s hand and said, "Patriarch, it’s like this. This Golden Healing Pill was brought from the outside, after all. I don’t think it’s appropriate to give it to the Young Master directly."

"We should first check if there are any problems with this Golden Healing Pill. If there are none, then it would be best to give it to the Young Master."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Gong had a sudden realization.

He gave Master Chen a grateful look.

"Master Chen, you are truly farsighted. I was being reckless."

"You’re right. We must check this Elixir to see if there’s a problem."

"Master Chen, I’ll leave this matter to you."

Ximen Gong hadn’t expected Master Chen to be so thorough and considerate of his son.

He only now realized that, after all, he had no connection to that mysterious expert. If the man had tampered with the Elixir, his son would be in grave danger.

Master Chen took the Golden Healing Pill.

He took out some strange instruments.

He scanned the Golden Healing Pill back and forth.

Finally, he even cut off a small piece from the Golden Healing Pill.

He steeped it in a vial, but there was no reaction inside.

Seeing this, Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "Patriarch, there’s no problem."

"You can give it to the Young Master."

As an Alchemist, he naturally had ways to test if an Elixir contained any poison.

But how could he have known that Jiang Chen’s Red Recovery Poison was simply not something he could detect?

It had long since permeated the Golden Healing Pill.

Afterward, Ximen Gong, feeling completely reassured, fed the Golden Healing Pill to his son, Ximen Jianren.

"Son, don’t worry. You’ll get better soon."

In his excitement, Ximen Jianren clenched his fists tightly.

"Father, I will."

He was extremely eager to get out of bed.

Soon after Ximen Jianren swallowed the Golden Healing Pill,

the Golden Healing Pill began to take effect.

The Golden Healing Pill truly lived up to its name as a Holy Medicine for healing.

Ximen Jianren immediately felt waves of a tingling, itching sensation, and even a coolness, coming from his wounds.

"Father, it’s really working!"

Ximen Jianren said excitedly.

Ximen Gong and Master Chen were both pleasantly surprised.

Both of them observed Ximen Jianren’s condition.

To their astonishment, the Golden Healing Pill was indeed incredibly miraculous.

About two hours later, the fractures in Ximen Jianren’s limbs had almost completely recovered.

The only oddity was that Ximen Jianren’s skin had taken on a strange red hue.

"Huh? What’s going on? Why has my son’s skin turned red?"

Ximen Gong was puzzled.

He looked at Master Chen.

"Master Chen, what’s the reason for this? Could the Golden Healing Pill have this kind of side effect?"

Master Chen was completely baffled.

He shook his head. "Impossible. The Golden Healing Pill’s healing properties are the same as any other Healing Elixir. Neither should cause the skin to turn red."

"Wait. Let’s keep observing."

"After all, the healing effect of the Golden Healing Pill seems even better than we imagined."

Ximen Jianren was also startled to discover that his skin was, in fact, very red.

It was as if it had been dyed with pigment.

Although he didn’t understand why, it didn’t seem to have any negative effects.

As he continued to absorb the Golden Healing Pill,

several more hours passed.

Ximen Jianren’s injuries had miraculously healed a great deal.

The flesh and bone in his arms and legs had regrown. Ximen Jianren even found that strength was returning to his limbs, and he could almost move them.

Of course, the most baffling thing was still the redness of Ximen Jianren’s skin, which was growing deeper and deeper.

"What in the world is going on?"

Ximen Gong looked at his son, who was now as red as if he’d been dyed, and pressed, "Son, how are you? Do you feel anything else?"

Hearing this, Ximen Jianren shook his head.

Suddenly, in the next moment, a wisp of black energy flashed across Ximen Jianren’s face.

He quickly clutched his chest.

"Father, my chest feels tight."

Seeing this, Master Chen quickly glanced at the black energy that had flashed across Ximen Jianren’s face.

He exclaimed in alarm, "Patriarch, this is bad! The Young Master has been poisoned!"

What?

Ximen Gong and Ximen Jianren were both aghast.

"What’s happening? How could he be poisoned?"

"Didn’t you already check the Golden Healing Pill and say it was fine?"

Master Chen was frantic.

"This isn’t right... I’ve never seen a poison like this before."

Just then, Ximen Jianren suddenly let out a loud cry.

"AHHH..."

His now-movable hands clutched his chest as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"It hurts so much!"

Ximen Gong panicked.

"Son..."

He tried to steady his son, but his son continued to scream incessantly as the redness completely erupted, emitting a red glow.

Amidst the red glow, wisps of black energy could be seen constantly flowing over Ximen Jianren’s body and face.

Ximen Jianren’s face twisted in agony.

He fell to the floor, convulsing uncontrollably.

White foam frothed from his mouth.

"Quick, Master Chen, save my son! Quickly!"

He was on the verge of collapse. Everything had been going so well, but now this sudden catastrophe had struck.
